The $3.1 billion-asset Brookline, Mass., company said in April that it would pay $234 million in cash and stock for the $1.6 billion-asset Bancorp Rhode Island, which is based in Providence.

Brookline had previously said that it would keep Bancorp Rhode Island as a state charter and operate its BankRI as a separate unit.
